The Cohort

By Charles S. Oliviero,

Book cover of The Cohort

What is my book about?

The Cohort is the story of Colonel Ignazio "Skip" Schiaparelli, career Canadian Army officer who abandons a promising career with no warning. He is hunted down by an ex-US Army Intelligence officer, who invites him to create a special operations unit that will work with and for the US government. Initially skeptical, Skip is eventually persuaded and builds a small, hand-picked team of men with extraordinary skills and the willingness to live by the ethos that Skip internalized during his time at the Royal Military College of Canada: Truth, Duty, Valour.

The journey takes the reader on a twisting path not only across the globe, but through the challenges of brotherhood, trust, deceit, risk, and adventure while leaving the reader wondering if the bonds that tie Skip to his men can sustain the stresses of international terrorism, physical risk, and national security.
